The title of this Yiddish folk song informs us that a Balalaika will at least be inferred in the music. This wonderfully authentic arrangement does just that. It also includes a clarinet obligato (included in the back of the octavo) which is a tip of the hat to the Klezmer band. A Yiddish, phonetic and English text are all provided in the music allowing you to perform this work in any combination of Yiddish or English.

Tum Balalaika is attributed to a number of Eastern European countries, but is best known as a Russian Jewish folk/love/“riddle” song. Loosely translated, “tum” means “noise,” and the Balalaika is a Russian stringed instrument with a characteristic triangular, hollow, wooden body and three strings, closely related to the domra and mandolin. Carl Strommen's wonderful setting will help any group sound their best.

Loosely translated, “Tum” means “noise,” and the Balalaika is a Russian stringed instrument with the characteristic triangular wooden hollow body and three strings, closely related to the Domra and Mandolin. Tum Balalaika should be played brightly and in a broad flowing manner. As always, attention should be paid to dynamics and articulations.

A Balalaika is a type of Russian folk stringed instrument. They come in a variety of sizes and can have full orchestras of these instruments. The music they play has a distinctly Russian folk music sound and composer James Meredith has worked to present this style in a modern concert piece. The work is a festive dance-like piece and contains quotes throughout of Tchaikovsky themes in order to help give it that Russian flavor. Balalaika is a different and refreshing choice for your next concert.

Comentarios del Espanol:
KAMALALAM II para piano a cuatro manos, lleva por titulo uno de los libros mas celebrados del magnifico escritor belga Marcel Moreau (16 abril 1933, Boussu en Belgica) a quien esta dedicada la obra, juntamente a Pilar Valero e Yves Robbe, los interpretes que la estrenaron en Boussu (Belgica). La obra se estructura en tres movimientos que llevan por titulo: Coric, Boires y Pokus. CORIC: es la palabra Circo al reves, variada. La musica tiene ritmos de Ragtime y polca asi como de musica que podria ser de un circo muy sui generis. El Circo al que se alude puede ser un circo real (influencia de Satie un autor que he dirigido bastante y del que he realizado arreglos de Sports et Divertessiments y de Parade, una de mis obras se llama Satieniana etc. Por otro lado, en la localidad donde trabajo se celebra el Festival de Pallasos y hay mucho movimiento circense que veo cada temporada mientras voy y vuelvo del trabajo a casa) pero tambien alude al circo humano, a esta desquiciada sociedad en la que todo es una especie de circo, una autentica muestra de monstruos mediaticos. BOIRES: En catalan BOIRES es NIEBLAS. Es una obra rara. La mano izquierda evoca la musica decimononica (romantica) mientras que la derecha realiza temas ajenos a este discurso de una manera algo absurda. ?Por que Boires? Pues porque las nieblas, las boires, aluden a una realidad de visibilidad enganosa. La niebla no nos permite ver la realidad. La realidad que no se ve la he imaginado habitada por espiritus. De hecho, pense en una sesion de espiritismo realizada en el siglo XIX (mano izq.....el romanticismo que evoca la epoca y la derecha con su discurso que en algun momento parece un baile lento, como si fuesen armoniosos fantasmas que danzan elegantemente en el aire).Ya se que es raro pero pensaba en esto......No se si habre conseguido mi proposito. POKUS: En eslovaco significa experimento (estudie en Bratislava la obra de JN Hummel becado por el ministerio de asuntos exteriores). La obra es un continuo pulsar ritmico, de gran agilidad, con notas repetidas y mucha simetria. En cierto modo se trata de un homenaje al virtuosismo pianistico biedermeier.
